Almost like there is some reason that is the standard most of the time or something, huh? :D

I had a couple of old Craftsman thin wrenches in SAE sizes, but recently bought the MAC sets in Metric and SAE. Obviously low torque, I wouldn't lean on them much but they're good for holding the flats of a tie rod or ball joint, or adjusting appliance feet as you have the need. :)

Drum trap *sounds* like what it should be called, but in this case it literally looked like your typical 5 gallon bucket. It was quite a bit larger than the Grainer linked device. I watched the video quickly, thanks - will watch again in more detail. It's just a thought I'm entertaining, for...

I don't think we have a plumbing sub-forum, but if I'm in the wrong place for this I take correction constructively. :) When I was in the hospital with pneumonia in January I noticed that the sinks in the room had a bucket arrangement instead of the typical P traps. It was both of 'my' sinks...

I like Goo Gone and also WD40, but I’m betting tape that old has become one with the substrate.

We don’t talk about that here… only in the quiet garage and in person; many (myself included) might have very bad things happen at the hands of spouses if the true spends were discovered…

I switch between grinding wheels and a wire wheel, I really should get a second machine because it’s annoying to change, the wire wheel doesn’t quite fit right inside the guard and rubs so it’s even noisier. So I either run it without the guard which I prefer not to, or I know it’s rubbing...

You’ll want to head to the upstate to ride that - everything in the lowcountry is straight and flat. The Blue Ridge mountains, 176 up through Saluda on the way to Asheville used to be my favorite ride way back when. Stop in at Side Street in Tryon for good Pizza and a pint. Or the other way - 9...

Bead curtain or Wild West saloon doors

I’d tackle it with a saw set.

I usually default to 1/2”, but I think it’s just by habit b/c I’m just a home gamer/DIY/weekend warrior myself.

I used to use this on the sheet metal edges of the door behind the panel when working on windows, latches, etc of said vintage Mustangs

Or if you already have a 3D printer, maybe a CNC router and a bandsaw to cut L shaped hardwood trim pieces and rout a groove to fit the edges.

What? No roots blower and NO2 bottle?!?!

Thanks everyone- all good thoughts, especially on the timing thing. I hadn’t thought about that.

I’m want to build myself a router table and/or mitre saw bench, may combine them in one, still planning. But what I would like to do is use my shop vac as a dust collector (probably with a separator). I see some ready-to -buy current sensing switches , some actually called vacuum switches I...

I’ve bought a couple of these for my last two gas cans, drilled a hole for the included vent and now they work just like the good ole days. 😁 https://www.amazon.com/EZ-POUR-Rigid-Replacement-Spout-Pre-2009/dp/B07S42B8T9/?tag=atomicindus08-20

How much can you pick up a used Huey off govdeals.com for? 😁

I usually look to reduce the iron in my diet when I smelt rust. //end really bad fart joke

Just remember that heated garage is the worst possible thing for automotive rust. Putting a wet, salty car in a heated environment is a recipe for it
